About the Author:
John Feffer is a freelance journalist and director of the Foreign Policy In Focus program at the Institute for Policy Studies.
Review:
`An Inspiring collection of stories about people who are creating economic alternatives on the ground. Their work and their lives are a sign of hope for us all.' Susan George, author of The Lugano Report 'There is no better way to understand globalization than to listen to the voices and pain of the globalized, and to scrutinize the discourse and wealth of the globalizers. This collection furthers our understanding and debunks notions of neutrality or resignation in the face of globalization.' Alejandro Bendana, Jubilee South 'When the advocates of globalization declare "there is no alternative", they ignore a few billion people who are building alternatives in their own communities around the world. To learn their inspiring story, read this exciting book.' Jeremy Brecher, author of Strike and Globalization from Below

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This work tells the story - the response of ordinary people around the world to the "irreversible" juggernaut of the global economy - small farmers in Honduras, migrant workers in the Andes, urban poor in Bosnia, Cambodian woodcutters, Mexican textile workers, Korean NGO activists, Vietnamese goverment officials. Readers are shown attempts to create alternatives by those for whom globalization has no need. Their different responses share common features: meting basic needs, making sustainable, culturally appropriate improvements to people's lives, and on the basis of active civic participation, solidarity and learning one from another. The book begins with a concise history of how the globalized economy came into being, what it means today, and the emerging challenges to this unprecedented concentration of power. This work tells the story - the response of ordinary people around the world to the "irreversible" juggernaut of the global economy. Readers are shown attempts to create alternatives by those for whom globalization has no need. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
